Currently, if the page is not allowed to write, then it can drop
ACC_WRITE_MASK in pte_access, and the direct sp's access is:
gw->pt_access& gw->pte_access
so, it also removes the write access in the direct sp.

There is a problem: if the access of those pages which map thought the same
mapping in guest is different in host, it causes host switch direct sp very
frequently.

I just sent a patch to fix this in a different way, please review it.
